We had our PDI on the 2nd and are moving in next Monday. The quality of the building is honestly fabulous. The experience itself was easy and straight forward. Make sure you bring your list of upgrades (if you have any) so that it can all be checked off. We measured everything and they let us stay as long as we needed to get photos and whatnot.
We weren't able to see any other parts of the building. We are on the 4th floor so I caught a glimpse of the event space but it's not near completion. The elevator we went in still wasn't finished and the lobby drywall was being sanded at the time. Even the corridors still need work. While the quality of the unit was excellent, my measurements from the floorplan were slightly off (and we knew there was allowance for this in the contract). It's unfortunate as I'm now worried about some of our furniture not fitting. We weren't able to go out on our terrace as it was a hazard at the time but all in all, it seemed fairly close to what we were anticipating. Hopefully the things that we pointed out that needed to be fixed will be done before we get our keys next week but it's going to be a great building once everything is done.
Make sure you know your upgrades and have that list ready to go. I can share the things that we flagged to be fixed (and most of the things were actually flagged by the inspector before we could even say it). Cabinet doors being level; warped finishes in the cabinets; overall cleanliness of the switches and baseboards (some of the paint and other building products needed to be cleaned off); make sure every light fixture works; open every cabinet and appliance (our freezer door got stuck); make sure your shower door seals properly; and test out all the lights. We just made sure to flag everything so that it's on their radar to be fixed before we move in.
Moving in next week so we will see. Based on the PDI though, there is a lot of work left. It looks done on the outside, but inside, the lobby, hallways, elevator, etc are not done at all. It's going to take some time to get settled in and for them to complete everything. Having said all that, it does look promising.How's life inside the new condo? Worth the wait?
My husband and I are living here now. It's super empty (haven't see a neighbour yet). Its very dusty and there's construction all the time. But I'm just happy that we're finally here after all these years of waiting
The quality is lovely. There are a couple of things that obviously aren't perfect but the construction team has been wonderful to work with and they get it all fixed up super quickly.Hi! If you find a unit that doesn't have parking and would like to rent our spot, please let me know
